Valuing Mortality Risk Reductions in Canada: An Updated Meta-Analysis and Policy Guidance
La valeur de la réduction du risque de mortalité (VRRM) constitue un élément clé de l’analyse économique des politiques publiques. La réduction du risque de mortalité représente souvent la majeure partie des avantages totaux dans les analyses des politiques de santé, de sécurité et d’environnement. Par conséquent, il est essentiel de disposer de mesures précises et actualisées de la VRRM. Nous avons réalisé une méta-analyse afin de mettre à jour …
Risk Perception, Learning, and Willingness to Pay to Reduce Heart Disease Risk
The paper investigates the validity of individual perceptions of heart disease risks, and examines how information and risk perceptions affect marginal willingness to pay (MWTP) to reduce risk, using data from a stated preference survey. Results indicate that risk perceptions held before receiving risk information are plausibly related to objective risk factors and reflect individual-specific information not found in aggregate measures of objecti…
Public preferences for options to manage chronic wasting disease in Canada: A paired comparisons study
An empirical analysis of hunter response to chronic wasting disease in Alberta
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) has impacted wildlife management in Canada. An integral partner in CWD management is the hunting community. This article empirically explored the response of Alberta mule deer hunters to CWD by modeling license application trends in areas where CWD has been positively detected in wild cervids. The relationship between resident draw applications and covariates of CWD prevalence, hunting quotas, draw success rates, lic…
Forest conservation policy and motivational crowding: Experimental evidence from Tanzania
Helping Markets Get Prices Right: Natural Capital, Ecosystem Services, and Sustainability
Canada faces environmental problems that threaten our stock of natural capital—our endowment of natural resources such as water, forests, land, and atmosphere—and the flow of goods and services that natural capital generates, known as ecosystem services. Much of the literature focuses on climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, but many other challenges persist, including air and water pollution, risks from oil and gas extraction, water scarc…

Cumulative Effects Planning: Finding the Balance Using Choice Experiments
Cumulative effects management requires understanding the environmental impacts of development and finding the right balance between social, economic, and environmental objectives. We explored the use of choice experiments to elicit preferences for competing social, economic, and ecological outcomes in order to rank land and resource development options. The experiments were applied in the Southeast Yukon, a remote and resource rich region in Nort…

Consumers' search behaviour for GM food information
We report on the search for information on a genetically modified food by a sample of Canadian consumers. In the course of a computer‐based survey on consumer choices, some 445 respondents, drawn from a large representative panel of Canadian consumers, had the opportunity for voluntary access to information related to a genetically modified food through hyperlinks. Slightly less than half actually sought the information. The economic construct of…
Understanding Heterogeneous Preferences in Random Utility Models: A Latent Class Approach
Tradable Land-Use Rights for Cumulative Environmental Effects Management
In this paper we introduce tradable land-use rights (TLRs) as a potential economic instrument for cumulative environmental effects management on public lands. TLRs allow the regulator to implement thresholds for habitat loss while maximizing the benefits of development. By allowing economic criteria to "drive" the configuration of development activities in a region, the risk of biodiversity loss may be reduced for a given cost. Alberta's Boreal F…
Socioeconomic Determinants of Health‐ and Food Safety‐Related Risk Perceptions
Individual and societal perceptions of food‐related health risks are multidimensional and complex. Social, political, psychological, and economic factors interact with technological factors and affect perceptions in complex ways. Previous research found that the significant determinants of risk perceptions include socioeconomic and behavioral variables. Most of these past results are based on two‐way comparisons and factor analysis. The objective…
The Influence of Task Complexity on Consumer Choice: A Latent Class Model of Decision Strategy Switching
The literature indicating that person-, context-, and task-specific factors cause consumers to utilize different decision strategies has generally failed to affect the specification of choice models used by practitioners and academics alike, who still tend to assume an utility maximizing, omniscient, indefatigable consumer. This article (1) introduces decision strategy selection, within a maintained compensatory framework, into aggregate choice m…

Stated Preference Approaches for Measuring Passive Use Values: Choice Experiments and Contingent Valuation
The measurement of passive use values has become an important issue in environmental economics. In this paper we examine an extension or variant of contingent valuation, the choice experiment, which employs a series of questions with more than two alternatives that are designed to elicit responses that allow the estimation of preferences over attributes of an environmental state. We also combine the information from choice experiments and conting…
In search of forest resource values of indigenous peoples: Are nonmarket valuation techniques applicable
This article examines issues surrounding the potential applicability of nonmarket valuation techniques to indigenous peoples. A conceptual model examines relationships between natural and cultural environments and value systems. Problems of valuation identified include eliciting values for individuals, aggregating individual values into measures of social welfare, and comparisons of welfare across culturally different groups. The influence of sac…

The travel cost model of recreation demand: Theoretical and empirical issues
This article provides an overview of selected theoretical and empirical issues in the economics literature on the travel cost model of recreation demand. Behavioral underpinnings of the travel cost model are examined. Problems are identified which an investigator using such a model must resolve, and some solutions are discussed. Attention is focused on those problems which remain controversial and are in need of further research. Research results…
